[22632] RelWithDebInfo build does not copy pdb files into install folder with Visual Studio

[owillebo]

Is there an already existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Expected behavior

The CMake RelWithDebInfo build target is for building a Release build with debug information. With Visual Studio, debug information is stored in separate pdb files.

The build deliverables including the pdb files must be stored in to the install\XXXX folder (XXXX is the target, i.e. fastdds,fastcdr,...).

Current behavior

For Debug builds these pdb files are copied in to the install\XXXX\lib folder.

For RelWithDebInfo builds pdb files are generated but NOT copied in to the install\XXXX\lib folder.

Steps to reproduce

Just build with RelWithDebInfo.

colcon build --cmake-args " -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo" --packages-up-to fastdds

No pdb files are generated in the install\XXXX\lib folder.

The pdb files are generated in the build\XXXX\src\cpp\RelWithDebInfo folder.

Hi @owillebo,

Thank you for reporting the issue.

We are going to work on it to fix it, so compiling with RelWithDebInfo also include the pdb files on install. As soon as we fix it, we will reach you.
